Another simple thought...

I am not usually one to post so many photos or quotes, but the description here rings true.

I have spent a great deal of time reading about what makes a child more likely to be bullied, and the folks with empathy, who want those around them to be happy, and work to put others first, are the most likely to be deeply hurt in bullying.

So please, look around you, and notice those who need someone to stand beside them.  You can both work for good together!

Who Needs 'Em?

This is so much easier said than done.  Still, it is true.  We don't live for or through the bullies.  We live for ourselves- for the people we want to be- for the world we want to make.The bullies are nothing in the face of good, strong people who want a better world!

We matter... You matter... Not the bullies... They don't matter in your life.

I have had so many things I have thought to share here on this blog, but not always the words.  Rarely the words, in fact.  I spent time with a friend last night, and we talked about how unbelievable it is that the establishment seems to allow those who bully to bend the system and have far more rights than those they have abused and continue to abuse.
They don't call it the bully pulpit for nothing.  So often those folks are allowed to say things everyone knows cannot possible be true and run others off in hurt from their lies.  Even when the establishment supposedly has stepped up to try to stop them.
As we look forward to a new year, I saw this quote and thought to share.  I know this is far easier said than done.  How have you been able to stop letting the bullies affect your life?  Any tricks to share?  Ideas?  It would be wonderful to see a forum on this following the post.
Hugs to all.  This is a log road.  But we can build a better world.   Our children, our friends and we, too- deserve it.
